I want to create a sfx file with C# WinForms. I have downloaded sevensharp from https://sevenzipsharp.codeplex.com . I could not get any step by step tutorial for this. Some similar question I got from stackoverflow and other site, but all didn't work and showing error. I want to add custom from in the sfx, when user double click the "File_sfx.exe" then the custom form will be shown and ask for password.

I added "SevenZipSfx.cs" as a class, "SevenZipSharp.dll" as a reference, and copied "7z.dll" to the output folder of Visual Studio.

Sample Code:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SevenZipCompressor.SetLibraryPath("7z.dll");
        SevenZipCompressor sevenZipCompressor = new SevenZipCompressor();
        sevenZipCompressor.CompressionLevel = SevenZip.CompressionLevel.Ultra;
        sevenZipCompressor.CompressionMethod = CompressionMethod.Lzma;

        SevenZipSfx compressor = new SevenZipSfx("7z.sfx");
        compressor.MakeSfx(@"E:\cm1.7z", @"E:\cm1.exe");

    }

Error:

Can you provide sample code and the error you are receiving? – Techie Jul 05 '15 at 15:14
@Nimesh, yeah, please see the new edited version. The file exists but it is telling the file does not exists. I cross checked the file name and past, were 100% correct. – 65656565656 Jul 05 '15 at 15:21
whats z1.exe referred in the exception? – Techie Jul 05 '15 at 16:04
@Nimesh, z1.exe is the MainForm that has button2. – 65656565656 Jul 05 '15 at 16:14
DId you checled this [article](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16069470/how-to-create-a-compressed-sfx-file-using-sevenzipsharp?rq=1) from related links, seems to be similar issue – Techie Jul 05 '15 at 16:37
